You can't vote!

Under the Commonwealth Electoral Act 1918 (Cth), section 93 (8)(c)...

If you have been convicted of treason or treachery and have not been pardoned, you are not entitled to have your name placed on or retained on any electoral Roll, nor are you allowed to vote at any Senate or House of Representatives election.

Any one convicted of treason or treachery lately?

I'm not an Australian citizen so I can't vote anyway...

What sort of things can you do to be charged with treason?
